Biography
Kashtiliash was the eldest son of Kadashman-Enlil II, and he succeeded his cousin Shagarakti-Shuriash as King of Babylon in 1232 BC. His dastardly preemptive attack against Assyrian territory, breaching the treaty between Adad-nirari I and Kadashman-Turgu, provoked the Assyrian king Tukulti-Ninurta I into launching a counter-offensive into Babylonia. Tukulti-Ninurta conquered Babylon and deported Kashtiliash to Assyria in chains, and he was deposed as King.
